When creating a new Order, after you have entered the 'Origin' and 'Destination' information, a Weights & quality section will be displayed with information based on your chosen origin and destination.
The logic behind each of the fields in the Weights & Quality section is as follows:
Remaining quantity
This value is calculated based on:
- If the origin and destination are both contracts: the lower remaining quantity of either contract, including the maximum tolerance allowance.
- If the origin is a contract: the remaining quantity of the contract, including the maximum tolerance allowance.
- If the destination is a contract: the remaining quantity of the contract, including the maximum tolerance allowance.
This remaining quantity value is then used to ensure you don't create an order for a quantity greater than the contract will accept when it comes to deliveries.
Order quantity
This is the quantity you want to create the order for. It must be equal to or less than the Contract remaining quantity.
Weights
The weights is a selection field that will either have available both Origin and Destination or just one of them. This is based on the orders Origin and Destination types of either contract or inventory.
If either the origin or destination type is a contract, the weights available options will be based on the specific contract, or combination of the contracts, weights field.
Origin grades
If any of the contracts Inspection field is set to Origin, or the Origin type is Inventory, then you'll be able to select the available grades in the Origin grades list. If not, this option will not be displayed.
In the event that both contract or a contract and inventory combination share origin as their inspection point, then the available list of grades will be filtered to just common grades between both.
If a contract, with an inspection set to origin, has multiple grades available, you can select a 'Multigrade' option which will mean any grade on the contract can be delivered onto the order.
Destination grades
If any of the contracts Inspection field is set to a Destination, or the Destination type is Inventory, then you'll be able to select the available grades in the Destination grades list. If not, this option will not be displayed.
In the event that both contract or a contract and inventory combination share destination as their inspection point, then the available list of grades will be filtered to just common grades between both.
If a contract, with an inspection set to destination, has multiple grades available, you can select a 'Multigrade' option which will mean any grade on the contract can be delivered onto the order.
